Exploring Linux's new iNet wireless daemon
Conclusions
Iwd 1.9 has been running smoothly on one of our laptops as a back end for NetworkManager for about three months now and is not even fazed by a VPN. Even when testing with a development version of Ubuntu 20.10, no problems occurred.
Iwd is the perfect replacement for the ancient WPA Supplicant in home and small business applications, where it meets advanced requirements for access points and hidden networks.
